🇹🇼 GPT-6.1 Sol評測:旗艦效能打2折,開發者該換嗎
GPT-6.1 Sol 是 OpenAI 在 2026 年 9 月 29 日 DevDay 上臨時補位推出的模型,因為真正的旗艦 GPT-6.1 Astra 因安全考量延後上線。它的賣點很直接:用 Astra 五分之一的 token 價格,做到接近 Astra 的程式撰寫與電腦操作能力。API 定價是每百萬輸入 token 2 美元、輸出 10 美元,快取輸入更只要 0.1 美元,比標準價便宜 95%。
跑分實測:便宜多少、差多少
在 DeepSWE v1.1(軟體工程代理測試)上,GPT-6.1 Sol 打平 Astra 的最高分,但每個任務成本大約只要 1.5 美元,Astra 要價 7.7 美元,砍了近 80%。OSWorld 2.0(電腦操作測試)上,GPT-6.1 Sol 只落後 Astra 2.1 個百分點,成本卻只要七分之一。跟自家前代 GPT-6 Sol 比,DeepSWE 分數高出 6.4 分、AutomationBench 高 4.8 分,OSWorld 更是在成本砍半的情況下多拿 7 分。
OpenAI 同時推出新的 Ultrafast 層級,主打速度,每秒可跑 300 個 token,適合語音助理、線上客服代理這類需要即時互動的應用。
開發者該換嗎:實際評估
- 已經在用 GPT-6 Sol:升級 GPT-6.1 Sol 幾乎沒有理由不換,同樣價格,分數全面提升。
- 原本在等 Astra:如果任務不是要做學術級研究或極端複雜的多步驟規劃,GPT-6.1 Sol 現在就能用,還便宜很多,先上線比乾等實際。
- 跟 Claude 比價:GPT-6.1 Sol 的價格帶已經逼近甚至低於同級 Claude 模型,如果 pipeline 是照 API 呼叫量計費,這波降價值得重新跑一次成本試算。
要注意的是,GPT-6.1 Sol 終究不是真旗艦——在最複雜的推理或長鏈規劃任務上,跟 Astra 還是有落差,只是這個落差在多數日常工程任務裡感受不明顯。它更像是「夠用又便宜」的選擇,不是「最強」的選擇。
GPT-6.1 Sol 現在已開放給 ChatGPT Plus、Pro、Business、Enterprise、Edu 用戶,也能在 Codex 與 API 直接呼叫,模型代號 gpt-6.1-sol。
好不好用,試了才知道。
🇺🇸 GPT-6.1 Sol Review: Near-Flagship AI at 1/5 the Price
GPT-6.1 Sol is the model OpenAI rushed out at DevDay on September 29, 2026, after the true flagship, GPT-6.1 Astra, got delayed over safety concerns. The pitch is simple: get close to Astra's coding and computer-use performance for a fifth of the token price. API pricing lands at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with cached input cut to just $0.10 — a 95% discount off standard pricing.
The Benchmarks: How Much Cheaper, How Much Worse
On DeepSWE v1.1, a software-engineering agent benchmark, GPT-6.1 Sol matches Astra's top score while costing roughly $1.50 per task versus Astra's $7.70 — an 80% cost cut. On OSWorld 2.0, a computer-use benchmark, GPT-6.1 Sol lands within 2.1 percentage points of Astra at one-seventh the cost. Compared to its own predecessor GPT-6 Sol, it scores 6.4 points higher on DeepSWE, 4.8 points higher on AutomationBench, and 7 points higher on OSWorld — at less than half the cost per task.
OpenAI also introduced an Ultrafast tier running at 300 tokens per second, aimed at latency-sensitive use cases like voice assistants and live customer-support agents.
Should You Switch: A Practical Take
- Already on GPT-6 Sol: Upgrading to GPT-6.1 Sol is close to a free lunch — same price tier, better scores across the board.
- Waiting for Astra: Unless your workload genuinely needs frontier-level reasoning on long, complex multi-step tasks, GPT-6.1 Sol is usable today at a fraction of the cost — shipping now beats waiting around.
- Comparing against Claude: GPT-6.1 Sol's pricing now sits at or below comparable Claude tiers. If your pipeline bills per API call, this is worth a fresh cost recalculation.
One caveat: GPT-6.1 Sol is still not the real flagship. On the hardest reasoning and long-chain planning tasks, the gap to Astra remains — it just doesn't show up much in everyday engineering work. Think of it as the "good enough and cheap" pick, not the "strongest" one.
GPT-6.1 Sol is now live for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu users, plus Codex and direct API access under the model ID gpt-6.1-sol.
You won't know until you try it.
